The Accessories You Need To See From Derby Day 2019

Of all the fashion-centric events in the world, there's no affair as intensely focused on accessories as the races.

Yes, it's all well and good to have tracked down the perfect dress or the chicest suit, but until you have the headwear, shoes, bag and jewels to go alongside, your outfit isn't quite complete.

Take Derby Day as an example.

The first day on the Melbourne Cup Carnival calendar, attendees put their accessories in the spotlight with the day's famously strict dress code.

Whether it was Chanel's cult hair clip, monogrammed hair bows, or traditional broad-brimmed hats, the headwear display was nothing short of exceptional. On the footwear and bag front, guests favoured minimalism and disco details.
